Produktbeschreibung

The Routledge International Handbook of Constructivist Grounded Theory in Educational Research provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) methodology, including core grounded theory tenets and processes as well as constructivist 'adaptations'. It features CGT research from across the education sector, including studies based in primary schooling, post-primary (second-level) schooling, and higher education.

Across 5 parts and 20 chapters, the book makes explicit how CGT techniques and processes were implemented in the field, the way(s) in which challenges were navigated, and how educational researchers aligned their research processes to constructivist principles. It offers exemplars of good practice by educational researchers from Australia, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. The Handbook synthesises learning from the experiences of CGT researchers in education to establish a framework of guidance for early career and more experienced researchers. Additionally, it directly interrogates and considers how to address challenges in the implementation of high-quality CGT and looks to the future of the methodology in educational research.

This Handbook provides guidance and education-specific examples to doctoral students and researchers who wish to use or are using CGT in educational research. It will also be of significant interest to qualitative researchers in other disciplines like sociology, psychology, and nursing.

Rezensionen

Constructivist Grounded Theory, developed by the late Kathy Charmaz, is the most inclusive and up-to-date version of Grounded Theory research. Education is one of the most challenging and promising areas for doing Constructivist Grounded Theory research. This Handbook and the contributions to it are of excellent quality and most relevant for further developing the legacy of Kathy Charmaz and for demonstrating the potential of Constructivist Grounded Theory in the important field of education. I am very pleased to recommend this Handbook to qualitative researchers, and especially to those using constructivist grounded theory.

Elaine Keane and Robert Thornberg are to be congratulated for having assembled a wide-ranging and informative set of chapters exemplifying the ways in which Constructivist Grounded Theory can contribute to research in education. The Handbook will contribute to responses to the continual and growing demand for examples of the ways in which grounded theories can be developed using the constructivist form of GTM, and it is only fitting that the collection is dedicated to Kathy Charmaz.
